Lionel Richie almost said "hello" to an unexpected guest Friday morning ... we've learned his Beverly Hills home was burglarized by a suspected thief.

Beverly Hills Police Department tells TMZ ... officers received a radio call regarding a residential burglary just after midnight in the 90210 neighborhood, where the famed singer-songwriter owns a property.

Cops ended up arresting a man named Michael John Bond on suspicion of residential burglary ... but the District Attorney has yet to formally file a charge.

Lil Nas X is still behind bars after his arrest early Thursday morning ... and now we know he's not getting out until at least Monday.

Authorities tell TMZ ... since the "Old Town Road" singer was arrested on suspicion of battery on a police officer, he needs to go before a judge to have his bail set ... and that ain't going to happen until Monday. Seems there are plenty of others in front of him also looking to bail out ... and Nas ain't cuttin' the line.

We're told this particular charge is an automatic appearance ... and he can't be issued a citation and released, like most misdemeanors ... 'cause "cited out" only applies to nonviolent offenses -- and Nas allegedly charged at police.

Backstreet Boys fans who couldn't get tickets to the band's residency at the Sphere shouldn't be too bummed ... as BSB member Howie Dorough just gave an impromptu performance while out and about in Las Vegas.

Check it out ... the boy bander hit the stage at Barbershop Cuts & Cocktails at The Cosmopolitan in Sin City Thursday night, where he was celebrating his 52nd birthday with his wife, Leigh Boniello, and friends.

While the singer wasn't slated to perform, given he was the guest of honor, HD surprised fans with a solo performance of Backstreet Boys' hit, "I Want It That Way."

Katy Perry is bringing her California beach body to the Florida coast ... rocking an itty-bitty black bikini for a big beach day with friends.

Check it out ... the singer shows some serious skin while taking in the rays at a beach in Miami, Florida -- where she's set to perform on Saturday as part of her "Lifetimes" tour.

It's clear KP is making the most of her day off, soaking up some sun in a teeny black bikini ... which perfectly shows off her toned body. And if these photos are any indication, Katy is seemingly doing better than ever.

Offset decided to end his new album "Kiari" by flushing his memories of being married to Cardi B down the toilet -- he says she never cleaned, along with failing at her other wifely duties!!!

On his swan song, "Move On," Offset tells Cardi he'll take the blame and shame of their tumultuous split because, simply put, he thinks they look like fools in the public eye!!!

It's no secret the two have been at each other's throats since Cardi's last divorce filing stuck, in spite of their 3rd child being born throughout the drama.

The man cops say went viral for knocking out a woman during a Rüfüs Du Sol concert is getting the book thrown at him -- he's been arrested on felony charges, TMZ has learned.

Pasadena PD tells TMZ ... Julio Cesar Lopez Zavala was arrested Thursday and booked for felony battery with great bodily injury, felony assault with great bodily injury and misdemeanor battery ... all for the vicious brawl that went down last week at the Rose Bowl concert.

You'll recall, a man -- who cops say is Zavala -- was recorded beating a woman unconscious on August 16 ... as Rüfüs Du Sol had everyone else in the stadium enjoying the beat.

Lil Nas X's nearly naked adventure was brewing almost 15 hours before his early morning arrest ... based on a new strange video of him wandering aimlessly around Hollywood!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained this surveillance footage recorded outside the Short Stories Hotel around 1:30 PM Wednesday. Sources at the hotel confirm he was there, although he was not a registered guest.

Still, the video makes it seem like he was going through something -- you see Montero all by himself strolling off the street, and into the hotel's courtyard area.

Lil Nas X's shock arrest Thursday may not have been a shock after all ... there were red flags months before his on-camera meltdown.

In February, a video was reposted to a fan account on X showing the rapper talking about his soon-to-be-released music -- as well as his personal issues. He seems to have scrubbed the OG video from his socials ... unclear when exactly he took it down, though.

Nas kicked things off by explaining that he didn't want anyone to think he was being "flaky" and "all over the place."

Dua Lipa's got the vocals, the moves and a bountiful of sexy snaps that are about to rock your world ... 'Don't Start Stop Now,' 'cuz we're just gettin' started!!!

The Albanian singer-songwriter has surged through the world on her most recent 'Radical Optimism' tour, but her bikini shots are also making headlines, and we want more!!!

Being bold in her black bikini ... when this pop star isn't busting a move onstage, catch her lookin' like a total smoke show!

And, she's no stranger to feeling fierce in an animal print 'suit ... Go on and 'Levitate' into our hot shots gallery ... WOOT WOOT!

Ozzy Osbourne knew his time was running out during that final Black Sabbath show -- and made damn sure his last act was a rock ‘n’ roll sendoff for the ages.

Rocker Tom Morello revealed on Chicago’s Q101 radio station that Ozzy walked into the July 5 "Back to the Beginning" farewell show knowing it would be his last -- and just weeks later, the Prince of Darkness was gone at 76.

Morello -- who ran the show as musical director -- said the mission was simple: make that Birmingham gig the greatest day in heavy metal history.

Asher Angel is stoked that his new "Rodeo" collaboration with Nelly returned the rap star to the world of country music.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the former Disney star out in West Hollywood on Wednesday night and told us the entire experience has been nothing but surreal.

Asher tells it was his Makasound Records team -- Hitmaka, Prince Chrishan, Princess Tuhh -- that sent Nelly the record for his approval.

Addison Rae is proving she's thirsty for more than just "Diet Pepsi" ... the TikTok star-turned-singer has stripped down for her latest campaign, garnering quite a bit of attention.

Check it out ... Addison shows a serious amount of skin in her new advertisement for Lucky Brand, going topless in one jaw-dropping pic from the campaign. AR seductively poses while standing sans a shirt, allowing her bare torso and denim jeans to stand out.

Addison spices things up further by dropping her LB jeans in a different shot ... giving viewers a glimpse of her bare, toned legs.

Rapper Diamond The Body ain't about to risk getting embarrassed at the upcoming "Baddies" reunion -- she hit the boxing ring with Claressa Shields in case she has to get violent on those heaux!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained video of Claressa showing Diamond the ropes this week in an Atlanta gym, where they covered the basics ... bob, weave and even a few grapple moves.

Claressa has some extra time on her hands after her proposed fight with Laila Ali fell through, and having an undefeated world champ in her corner should give Diamond the upper hand when the reunion goes down at the end of September.

Consequence recently crashed out on Pusha T at Hot 97 by exposing contradicting messages about his stance on Kanye West, and that appears to be just the tip of the iceberg because he's heading to the booth!!!

TMZ Hip Hop spotted Consequence in Manhattan and he wasted no time labeling the Clipse star "Pusha-TMZ" for speaking badly about his main man Ye.

We'll try not to be offended, but hey ... it's Queens all day, and Cons says he's not for play!

Joe Budden is firing off a completely different opinion about Cardi B's new song than what Joey Bada$$ gave us the other day -- he thinks it stinks!!!

On the latest episode of "The Joe Budden Podcast," the "Pump It Up" rapper didn't give Cardi any credit for tackling Jay-Z's 1997 "Imaginary Player" track ... in his book, some classic beats shouldn't be touched if you don't have the rapping ability.

Cardi doubled down yesterday with another music video for the song but Joe says the props go to her ghostwriters and that's where it stops. He ripped Cardi for having a choppy, punched-in flow while he feels Jay's OG track was smooth like butter.

Brent Hinds -- the legendary guitarist who helped put Mastodon on the map -- has died after a motorcycle crash in Atlanta, according to reports.

The band confirmed the news Thursday on Instagram, saying they are in a "state of unfathomable sadness and grief." They added ... "We are heartbroken, shocked, and still trying to process the loss of this creative force. Our hearts are with Brent's family, friends, and fans, and we ask for privacy during this difficult time."

The news comes just months after drama between Brent and the group. Back in March, the band announced they had "mutually decided to part ways" ... but earlier this month, Brent claimed he was actually kicked out.
